Hi,

To me nutrition is the most important, so what if you do compound weight exercises but nutrition sucks.

Eat protein and when i tell you eat protein i dont mean your pri 1 chicken rice portion at the hawker centre.I mean for one meal eat thrice of that amount(opt for breast meat).Also make good friends with the economical rice uncle and buy 4 meats with rice.Eat fruits and veges as well.Have 6 meals a day.2 in the morning, 2 in the afternoon and 2 at night.One small meal and one heavy meal each for different times.Heavy meal would be what i stated, for a light meal you can drink 250ml of milk and eat peanut butter WHOLEMEAL sandwich OR TUNA sandwich( 2-3 slices) and some fruit(bananas recommanded).You better drink one litre of milk a day.

AND YOU BETTER EAT AND EAT AND EAT Mr. Green

PLEASE DONT SHOW ME YOUR KINDERGARDEN FOOD PORTION AND ASK ME IF ITS ENOUGH.Sorry a bit deranged here.Stress...

good luck Very Happy

and please dont eat all the rubbish food served at coffee shops like char kway teow.

Only eat those crappy food if you are bulking or something, they are good for bulking(if you are skinny) and after that you cut.

BUT THEY ARE SH*T for maintaining muscle.

MrDeeJay SG

wow!
6meals a day!
so, any more tips?
ill take the one on drinking milk and b-r-e-a-s-t meat Mr. Green

Simon Dean SG

Change white bread to wholemeal bread.I just made a recent change.

Almonds make good snacks.But dont eat more than what you worked for.

Stock up your milk.

I give you a list of things to buy from your NTUC:

MANGNOLIA HI-CAL LO FAT MILK

CHEESE SLICES

PEANUT BUTTER

TUNA

WHOLEMEAL BREAD

BANANAS mostly importantly, potassium helps prevent muscle cramp and gives you energy.

GLUCOLIN/DEXTROSE* to mix inside your post workout protein shake if you have it.

ALMONDS* if you want to.. but peanut butter already has the good fats almond has.

Thats all i can think of now.

AND EAT F*CKIN A LOT A LOT A LOT A LOT A LOT A LOT A LOT A LOT and sleep 7-8 hrs a day to recover muscles.

Mr. Green

try www.nutri-forefront.com and forums.hardwarezone.com(Sports,fitness and health corner forum) for more advice.

MrDeeJay SG

now holidays sleep late and wake up late counted? Confused

MrDeeJay SG

woot! become sticky Very Happy

Simon Dean SG

sticky because i dont have to keep saying the same things to beginners, sia ar like a repitition like that.

As long as you sleep 7-8 hours its okay liao.Drink milk before you sleep as it has casein(a slow diegesting protein)which will make sure that your body is in an anabolic state.

POst your CURRENT diet here and i will comment.

Simon Dean SG

This chicken rice is a snack to me

I do not eat the skin though...

you eat x1.5-2 that amount of chicken and x 1.5 of that amount of rice and i will call it a meal

Marco_Simone SG

MrDeeJay SG

MrDeeJay SG

Marco_Simone SG

If I tell you you just need 3-4 exercises and you only need to train 3 x/per week for 40-50 mins,would you believe it? Wink

MrDeeJay SG

forum_dude SG

THE GUYS IN US ALL EAT 8 MEALS/DAY, I MEAN THE BB

Simon Dean SG

well their jobs are bbing which is their livelihood(some of them).You cant make f*ck being a bber in Singapore.

chrisbenoit SG

That chicken rice looks wicked sick !!! Very Happy

killstyle SG

Simon u eat so much? Surprised

eh are u able to burn it off later???

Simon Dean SG

what do you think the food is used for?

blurblop SG

The minus side is that milk contain fat and some carbs. So when you don't burn the carbs off when you sleep, the calories may convert to fat.

If the subject is training intensively, the protein in milk may not be enough, then may be a better choice to supplement with Cassein protein powder.

Simon Dean SG

dont worry, the protein from the milk will be used to recover his muscles when he sleeps.

As long as you do some form of exercise, you need not worry so much.
